Pete Doherty DETAINED (Wizbang Pop!)

I just refuse to comment.

Despite the fact that Pete Doherty, age 27, spent time at a rehabilitation center in Portugal only a week ago, the scandalous rock singer doesn't seem to have been able to stay off drugs. When he arrived at Arlanda airport last night he was, according to several eyewittnesses, obviously under the influence of something - and was pushed through customs in a wheelchair. He was stuttering and acted "bizarre". After a while, he fell out of the wheelchair and was crawling around on the floor, one witness tells aftonbladet.se. "When I took a picture he gave me the finger and said 'You have to pay to take my picture'," the witness continues.
Pete Doherty was acting, according to reports, "disagreeable" towards airport security and was therefor taken to arrest by the customs. "They weren't planning on taking him at first, but he was acting in such a way that they were forced to," once source tells aftonbladet.se. Doherty was searched through by airport security and was forced to open his luggage. "I can confirm that we have performed a routine search of his luggage. I can't say any more than that," Antti Revonkorpi, chief commander at the swedish airport security says to aftonbladet.se. At approximately 1AM, Doherty was smuggled out to a waiting private plane at terminal 3. "He was indignant and said that "the swedish customs can fuck off", he thought that he had been mistreated," one source tells aftonbladet.se.

At 01.59 AM he landed at Hultsfred and was driven to the festival ground. According to witnesses he still seemed under the influence of something - but in a good mood. At 3AM this morning, about an hour delayed, he was standing at the Pampas stage at Hultsfred. "I'm sorry that we're late, but I got stuck in the swedish customs," Doherty said. Then he did an obscene gesture to show his disapproval. The following concert was described as "messy and completely insane." Doherty was rolling around on the stage floor, threw his guitar to the audience - and himself as well after a while.
